Hydrosphere - STEM Career Connections

My NASA Data (MND) offers resources to help students explore careers related to Earth Systems missions at NASA. Students may review job profiles within the four disciplines of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) aligned with projects in the Atmosphere, Biosphere, Cryosphere, Geosphere, and Hydrosphere and learn about real NASA employees who serve in those careers. Information on work description, job significance to NASA Earth Science, salaries, educational requirements, and more are provided. Check it out!

Oceanography covers a wide range of topics, including marine life and ecosystems, ocean circulation, plate tectonics and the geology of the seafloor, and the chemical and physical properties of the ocean.
